NFL Draft Results: Eagles select Marlon Tuipulotu at pick No. 189

With the 189th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... Marlon Tuipulotu, defensive tackle, USC!

Tuipulotu (TOO-ee-poo-LOE-too) is the second interior defensive lineman to join the Eagles in this year’s draft with Philly taking Milton Williams on Day 2. He figures to be a rotational lineman in the NFL.

Tuipulotu can play both nose and three-technique. He really raised his profile in 2020 with more consistent tape relative to his total number of games played in the Pac-12. He’s a little undersized to be an interior run stuffer but makes up for it with excellent use of hands and twitchy upper-body power to jostle and shed blocks.
